    Decent overall code reader.
    The product is exactly how it is described. The scan tool does more than I had expected. The ability to view DTCs, perform system tests, view live data, and graph some data is great to have. The only issues I have, is it will only read Powertrain Control Module and the data graphing is slow. Other than that, will be in top drawer and used frequently.Joshua Moore: 20+ year automotive technician. Owner/Operator @ King's Auto Repair Specialists, LLC

    Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2022
    This is a fantastic little OBD2 code reader that does more. It’s fast to connect and has little extras like graphing live data and will teach you about a fault code or system after you press the help button when viewing a code. It also has a recording feature to print codes, live data or freeze frame data. I still need to try this. Fantastic tool for a car owner and still very handy for the professional. I’m a mobile mechanic and this will get a lot of use alongside my regular scanner. Great value for the price!
